I assume this question is related to determining the amount of water that is inside the crystalline structure of a hydrate compound such as copper sulfate , magnesium carbonate, calcium sulfate. The water molecules form part of regular crystal structure and a fixed number of water molecules are associated with the hydrate molecules.

Like Calcium Sulfate is actually Ca SO₄ · 2 H₂ O, a dihydrate. So two water molecules for every calcium sulfate are present in the crystal.

Simple experiment:

We take a known mass x of the hydrate and heat it to dryness. When all the water evaporates, the anhydrous compound is left with us. then mass y of the compound is found. Now the mass of water molecule in hydrate is x-y. Its percentage of x gives the percentage of water in the given hydrate.

If the experiment is related to find the mass of water socked by raisans he can use W1-W2 W1 The other methods to find the constration of a solution are-1- mass/mass % 2- mass/volume% 3- volume/volume%4- no.of moles/volume of solution%
